Meditation is an incredibly powerful tool.
According to Psychology Today magazine, over 10 million Americans regularly practice
meditation, and that number is on the rise.
The benefits of meditation are astonishing. Over 3000 scientific studies at independent
universities and research institutions since the 1970s have studied the phenomenon, with
staggering results.
The most obvious benefit of meditation is the immediate sense of relaxation and stress relief
it brings. Allowing a period of time to quieten the mind each day enables you to let go of
anxiety and enhances your state of wellbeing.
Over time, experienced meditators begin to access still deeper states of mind, unlocking
even greater benefits.
A regular meditator can expect the benefits of meditation to continue for many hours
following the session. The calm, focused state of mind achieved during meditation will often
last for the remainder of the day, as well as assist in achieving a sound sleep. Serotonin
levels also increase during meditation, helping to improve mood levels instantly.
There are many dozens of powerful longer-term health and brain power benefits too.
Not only that, but meditation has long been regarded as one of the real keys to personal
growth.
(For more information on the benefits of meditation, including research papers from
Harvard, Yale, MIT and more, please read “A Brief Overview of Meditation Studies” later in
this user manual.)
Yet with so many incredible benefits, you have to ask yourself – why aren’t even more
people meditating right now?
